Refrain First Line: ’Tis the still small voice of the Savior calling Lyrics: 1 Do you feel a strange longing within your soul today? Would you find the straight and narrow way?

Refrain: ’Tis the still small voice of the Savior calling, Calling, calling, calling, "Come to Me"; Many years, Lord, I’ve heard Thee, I will no more delay; Thou shalt call in vain no longer, I now obey. 2 It would profit you nothing, tho’ all the world you gain, If in selfish sin you still remain; All its pomp and its glory, your soul can never save; It will vanish at the portals, the silent grave. [Refrain] 3 Are you weak, heavy laden, by sin and woe oppressed? Hear Him say, "Come unto Me and rest"; Come, oh, come to the Savior, you will not be denied, If you bring as plea for pardon the Crucified.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Do you feel a strange longing]" in United Praise Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
